The entire Oracle leadership is full of narcissistic and technically incompetent leaders. Take for example, this article that for some reason glorifies profanity in business meetings.

The leader here, who is known as TK internally, is known for being abusive and profane to his team. In my 5 years at Oracle, I have not met a single developer who respected TK. He was unanimously hated by all his developers. The general opinion among developers is, "This guy tries to be like Bill Gates, but come on, has he done anything in his life beyond managing supply chain management solutions?"
Yet, this guy is glorified within Oracle, just because Larry Ellison likes him. It is really a situation of one man versus all, where the one man is winning due to an intricately established bureaucracy over decades that cannot be unsettled anymore.
